Chapter 9.3: Combined Master of Arts/Master of Divinity

Students may elect to do a combined Master of ARts/Master of Divinity program. Students must formally apply to each program seperately, indicating the intent to pursue a combined M.A./M.Div. program. A student must apply, be admitted, and enroll in the second program before completing the requirements of the first. Application to the Jesuit School Master of Divinity program should be made to the JST Office of Admissions. Application to the Master of Arts program should be made to the Admissions Office of the GTU. The Master of Arts applicants should request affiliation with the Jesuit School of Theology during the period of studies.

The total time required to complete the concurrent M.A..M.Div. program will be determined by the demands of the two degrees combined; but, in accordance with ATS standards, it will in no case be less than a total of four academic years. Not more than half of the credits required for on degree may be transferred intop the other; and not more than hal of the credits equired may be granted based on transfer credit. This means that the JST/GTU Combined Master of Arts/Master of Divinity program allows a student to count up to 24 units toward both degree programs.
